Worries aside, poll finds most journalists would do it again
NEW YORK — Journalists face harassment, fight against misinformation and are keenly aware of the industry’s financial troubles and the dim view many Americans have of them. They’re proud of their work.” More than three-quarters of the journalists said that if they had the chance to do it all again, they would pursue a career in the news business. When asked to describe their industry in a single word, 72% of journalists surveyed pick something negative — words like “struggling,” “chaos,” “partisan,” “difficult” and “stressful,” Pew said. “People overall don’t trust a lot,” Mitchell said, “but the vast majority are using it.” The number of people who face harassment or come across unreliable information online may explain the apparent contradiction, she said. Fully three-quarters of the journalists feel it’s a major problem when people with the same opinions get their news from the same organizations, while 39% of the public sees it that way, Pew said.
